The wii forces you to update. It probably updated while on standby.

I couldn't access the shop channel until I updated...

 

[ilcid]

Same.

I updated through the settings and then when I tried to get back to the shop channel I got the 209601 error.

Ok so do this do anything? I dont see anything different.

Jerrod, there was a hack that let you go on the web with the wii without it being ready and you could do it for free. They fixed it quite fast, i saw that video on youtube only yesterday. I wouldnt be able to do it anyway, im with the usb wifi connector

Who really cares about going on net with a hack, the Opera browser is free and will allow a better surfing experience when it is release.

 

[matperry]

Not totally free. It will cost some wii points (don't know how many though) but I guess it's a one time. you won't pay monthly or else like xbox...

 

[Cap'n Meow]

Unless they've said otherwise recently the Opera Browser is free to those who download if prior to June 2007.

 

[matperry]

really? won't cost points? man I take it as soon as it comes out, trust me
